Even More From Lima

Í´m sure they´ve shown us the nicer parts of Lima but I have to say I am impressed with this city. I know it has a huge shantytown like every large Latin American city, but most of the town is surprisingly well-maintained, the streets aren´t potholed, they are lighted at night, and most of the buildings look at least somewhat maintained, a factor not all that common in the Third World. The traffic is chaotic and the drivers are semi-suicidal but I´ve seen few accidents and somehow people get where they are going. In short, Lima feels like a city that ¨works.¨
